This excellent and topical play at Hampstead was all about Jack, who never appears in it. He is a teenager who has uploaded a video of him forcing himself on his girlfriend, Cara. He was destined for great things with good grades leading to university and career. The girl, on the other hand, is a bit more of an average achiever - A Croydon harpie, as one commentator describes her..
The cleverness of the play is in watching Di and David, the parents, in their different responses to this event which is like a wedge between them. They consult one of their son's friends and gradually it dawns on them that he is the rapist that he has been accused of being.
